River Ruckus (Story Mode)

After clearing the first Story Mode stage, you'll appear back in the level hub. Head to the left and you'll see the Car Boat vehicle available for purchase with a low price tag of 5,000 LEGO pieces. Purchase the vehicle, then use it to knock away boulders that block a nearby gate to the lower left. Drive through that opening to attempt the next Story Mode stage.

This is another vehicle stage. You'll appear at the base of a waterfall, in a shallow pool. Your vehicle can handle both dry land and water, so that's not an issue. What could wind up being an issue is the assortment of enemy vehicles riding through the area. Initially, there are four main targets: Jeep vehicles with turret guns.

(Above Left) Chasing down your enemies is a poor way to harm them. Try ramming them from the sides instead. (Above Right) There's nothing better than plowing through a whole team of enemy vehicles at once!

As usual, you can find the location of your enemies by following the on-screen arrows, which always point to your next target. There are plenty of vehicles throughout the zone, but only certain ones will count toward your total. While you deal with those first four, you can also collect LEGO pieces to fill your meter and earn yourself the 'True Adventurer' rating. It's best if you can get that out of the way early so that you have less to fear from possible disaster later in the stage.

Once you have taken out the first four vehicles, you'll find yourself battling five more of the same general type. These guys tend to come at you in a bit of a group, so that you have less time to recover between confrontations. You'll also have less time to gather stray LEGO pieces, which is why it's nice if you got all of that out of the way during the first wave. Just keep battling the enemy vehicles as you normally would and you should be able to quickly work through the small army.

When you do, you'll next find yourself facing off against three final vehicles. These are driven in a more aggressive manner than any before them, but you can still win simply by remembering to hit from the side. Enemy vehicles tend to take damage quickly if you push them sideways off a rode and into some brush. Keep that in mind and the last wave will succumb to your might almost before you know it. Then the stage is complete.
